Heal Through The Mushroom Medicine
-
Psilocybe cubensis is a species of psychedelic mushroom whose principal active compounds are psilocybin and psilocin. Your brain on psilocybin is finding new ways to connect synapses that are usually not active and allows new connections to travel more freely in your brain, allowing you to form new thought patterns about yourself and how you see the world. Mushrooms can promote neurogenesis in your brain meaning it can create new brain cells and repair damage in your brain. New research also shows that mushrooms can physically change the size of your amygdala (structure in your brain that processes fear/anger and our fight or flight response) indicating that mushrooms can be helpful for individuals with PTSD.
-
Mushrooms have been used in many cultures all over the world, cave drawings from 9,000 years ago have been found in Siberia indicating their widespread usage. Mushrooms were most commonly used in Central America and Mexico as part of spiritual or religious ceremonies for centuries. Psilocybin or “Magic Mushrooms” became popularized in western culture after an American journalist took part in a mushroom ceremony in Oaxaca, Mexico with a Mexican Indigenous medicine woman, Maria Sabina. The journalist published an article about his experience with the mushrooms that later led to the psychedelic boom in the United States and the exploitation of Maria Sabina, her community, and sacred mushrooms.
-
A ceremony in the psychedelic context serves to direct our minds, energy, and thoughts to be aligned and focused. A ceremony with mushrooms tunes out the outside world and provides a safe and intimate connection with the mushroom medicine. You can expect your facilitator to use clearing sacred herbs such as Sage and Palo Santo as well as drumming and singing to set the ceremonial context. We will be grounding our energy during the ceremony via an altar. Altars are a place where you can focus your energy throughout the ceremony and will help set the tone and pace of the ceremony.
Curar a través de la medicina de hongos
-
Psilocybe cubensis es una especie de hongo psicodélico cuyos principales compuestos activos son la psilocibina y la psilocina. Su cerebro con psilocibina está encontrando nuevas formas de conectar sinapsis que generalmente no están activas y permite que nuevas conexiones viajen más libremente en su cerebro, lo que le permite formar nuevos patrones de pensamiento sobre usted mismo y cómo ve el mundo. Los hongos pueden promover la neurogénesis en el cerebro, lo que significa que pueden crear nuevas células cerebrales y reparar daños en el cerebro. Una nueva investigación también muestra que los hongos pueden cambiar físicamente el tamaño de la amígdala (estructura en el cerebro que procesa el miedo/la ira y nuestra respuesta de lucha o huida), lo que indica que los hongos pueden ser útiles para las personas con trastorno de estrés postraumático.
-
Los hongos se han utilizado en muchas culturas de todo el mundo; se han encontrado dibujos rupestres de hace 9.000 años en Siberia que indican su uso generalizado. Los hongos se utilizaron con mayor frecuencia en Centroamérica y México como parte de ceremonias espirituales o religiosas durante siglos. La psilocibina o “hongos mágicos” se popularizó en la cultura occidental después de que un periodista estadounidense participó en una ceremonia de hongos en Oaxaca, México, con una curandera indígena mexicana, María Sabina. El periodista publicó un artículo sobre su experiencia con los hongos que luego desembocaron en el boom psicodélico en Estados Unidos y la explotación de María Sabina, su comunidad y los hongos sagrados.
-
Una ceremonia en el contexto psicodélico sirve para dirigir nuestra mente, energía y pensamientos para que estén alineados y enfocados. Una ceremonia con hongos desconecta del mundo exterior y proporciona una conexión íntima y segura con la medicina de los hongos. Puede esperar que su facilitador utilice hierbas sagradas limpiadoras como la salvia y el palo santo, además de tocar tambores y cantar para establecer el contexto ceremonial. Estaremos conectando nuestra energía durante la ceremonia a través de un altar. Los altares son un lugar donde puedes concentrar tu energía durante toda la ceremonia y ayudarán a establecer el tono y el ritmo de la ceremonia.

Testimonials
“Valeria was my facilitator at my first psilocybin ceremony and I’m grateful to have such a strong female leader that brought her beautiful gifts and mother-like energy to guide us in ceremony. I’m grateful to have Valeria on this healing journey and to partake in one of her ceremonies was a blessing. Her guidance and safe space she created allowed me to be vulnerable and to become aware of areas I need to work on healing without feeling ashamed. From her Reiki session, to ceremony and even morning yoga, the energy & community she built is something I’d continue to travel from Connecticut to Denver for as there’s nothing else like it. Thank you for sharing your gifts and allowing me to be part of your ceremony, I’m looking forward to the next!”
“Valeria fue mi facilitadora en mi primera ceremonia de psilocibina y estoy agradecida de tener una líder femenina tan fuerte que aportó sus hermosos regalos y su energía maternal para guiarnos en la ceremonia. Estoy agradecido de tener a Valeria en este viaje de sanación y participar en una de sus ceremonias fue una bendición. Su guía y el espacio seguro que creó me permitieron ser vulnerable y tomar conciencia de las áreas en las que necesito trabajar para sanar sin sentirme avergonzada. Desde su sesión de Reiki hasta la ceremonia e incluso el yoga matutino, la energía y la comunidad que construyó es algo por lo que continuaría viajando desde Connecticut a Denver, ya que no hay nada parecido. Gracias por compartir tus regalos y permitirme ser parte de tu ceremonia, ¡espero con ansias la próxima!”
